About half way through now. Slightly disappointed. Control System is one of my favorite albums. Some of these songs sound dated like he recorded them a long time ago and they still haven’t been mixed properly. I’ll check the rest out later.

Control System isn't a fluke anymore.

You may be right. The mixing issue might be a Spotify problem. I have to give it another spin. I stopped at Gang’nem but so far here’s what I think.

• Message in a bottle - Solid
• No Report Card - Mid besides the ATL line (Dated)
• Hollandaise - Solid
• Moonshooter - Surprisingly mid. The beat carried Solo’s verses he didn’t say anything for real and Joey’s verse was too short
• FOMF - Throwaway (Dated)
• Goodman - Fire! Best track so far
• Do Better - Solid (Dated)
• Gang’nem - Throwaway. Fre$h sounds exactly like somebody else but I can’t figure it out.

I stopped there because I could see he was about to get into the R&B stuff so I thought it was a good place to pause for now.
